HI !!!! And how are you ?
.... Yes this is really me ..That is my picture ( 2015) and I don`t
fake ... I am a worker .. I am a lover of thought, And I am very
real
This is my personal profile .. Very truthful, relaxed , real and
kinda long , but by no means all of me. For your convenience I have
vetted the most of my profile . There is a long version for those
who want to KNOW more . And a short one for the tire kickers
...
....................THOSE
STARS.......................................
If you rate me with the stars .. please message a "HI" as well
...... I no longer subscribe here and can`t tell if you have done
so ... Also I am a meeting type of person ,not text ..What that
means is by all means feel free to text me. But if it turns into a
text competition no one will win. not possible romantic connections
anyway . ....... Thanks ..
...................................................................................
..........................THE SHORT
VERSION......................... .

,loving, daring ,decent,Humble . kind heated, considerate, open
minded, understanding loyal, self confident ,intellectual trust
worthy, Sensitive towards others ,down to earth to every one in
life , generous laughs with any one . Wants to make people happy
and lively,

. ( but not in dangerous situations) Talkative ( only in the
presence of a beautiful woman,) A little shy ,Bit of a smart ass ,
and single minded
The weird...My comedy. My ability to Heal, and Far To forthright in
serious situations..
...................................HER........................................

I am looking for an honest, trusted and loving, Courageous,
,Passionate, caring, and trust worthy, A little shy,down to earth,
good to every one in life and generous, And laughs with any one to
make people happy and sensitive .Oh yeah If you are southern that
is a plus and if you are from NC even better, But by no means
mandatory.. A woman who can hold a man with hidden fingers..Active
and likes the water. Examples are canoe (kayak) Small boats river
ocean , SCUBA (I was an instructor), Wading in creeks What ever....
Just add water.

............................ SLOW
DATING................................
I am a slow dater.. If you don`t know what that means, here it is
in the nut shell....I don`t give a very positive first showing.. I
am some shy and it takes me a little while to get comfortable.. I
know this is the same for you, but with me it is about
synchronicity.. I have been on many meets and never gotten past the
nervous tension at all . I become loquacious( I babble when
nervous) and this usually ruins everything (sorry) .. I do not
drink so this is something of a problem .. It will take a very
special lady to put up with this I know .. After we get to know
each other (second date), it is gone like the wind..I am a leader
in my field and very confident, it has never been a problem there .
Just when meeting new women who are so beautiful..So If we go out
and this happens please understand it is just nerves and you must
be beautiful....

.....................THE LONG (VERY LONG
:P)..................

If you want to be Real, then you are at at the right place . If you
read this and look at the pics I have put up you will see what is
important to me...
I am 47 Years of what ever it is that has made this country a great
place to live.. I am by no means great but Greatly thankful to live
where I do. For all of my time , I have lived (LOVE) in close
proximity to and in the water , in doing so it has made me who I am
.. ... .
.
..................SOUTHERN RAISED ROMANTIC
........................

If you read this , and you want to imagine you hear my voice ? Do
it in a (very) southern ,deep, Drawl.(although articulate as well).
I and some 12 Generations of ancestors are all from the old north
state . A Real Tar heel but not a snob about it (,that kinda comes
with the territory)....BUT NOT A RED NECK..I have read a few more
science fiction , and classical novels than most And way more than
my fair share of Shakespeare....
If You are up for an adventure.... Not fantasy, but for real .(Not
planing or being in control of anything about it) Then I am your
man.....
I don`t` drink per say but if the wine is fine then pour me
some..
I don`t do clubs of any sort ,but I will carry your arm to any
formal event with pride.I like plays and music in formal places ..
.(A gentleman)
I live for the out doors and travel , The farther and newer to me
the better...Although I am homesick after one of these
adventures..
You can bet your new car I will give it all I have to keep you
happy, but I need a two way street to travel on...

I am a bit of a smart ass , so be warned.I try to be the comic (
with varying results). Not a mean person but I love a good
prank.(even at my expense) we will need to get to know each other
to see if I can make you laugh . If I can, you will be laughing
everyday. I write Poetry,. I know some Shakespeare by heart . The
classics are my thing...
Building with my hands. All manner of
stuff.wood,composites,cements,metal,dirt.. Plants.. Got a little
bit of a green thumb. Oh and if my work slows or it rains I will
lift weights but not in a gym .If you want others to feel good you
need to as well . Hard work or exercise will do that for you....
....

.....................Not into drugs or
alcohol..........................

I am not a snob about this . I never did them as a kid and don't
want to start them now or ever.. . Just have to many people who
meant the world to me lost to addictions. These people were
important to me .. My limit is a good beer or red wine on occasion,
before bed for sleep and dreams......

Thanks for the comments about my body but I do not work out ...I
WORK... I build big stuff .. That means heavy stuff.. (construction
worker ) I have three kids (all grown ) I am romantic to the bone (
I write poetry) I am currently having to recover from an accident
at work .. (Three months according to the DR).. This supremely
sucks....I am an active person so this is going to be hard.. I try
to do something to improve myself everyday .Either the amount of
strength or passion I can have for something or someone.... .. .. I
have an interest in Photo Voltaics and wind energy for self
sustenance . I am a very good listener as well as a very passionate
person in all that has my attention ...

..................................COMMITMENT..................................
I was married 25 years and now divorced for four , but still some
pain left as I was just recently told.. I still have a sore heart
but please understand .. Not for my Ex ..I invested a lot to try
and save the marriage but she wanted it otherwise.. i am not clingy
unless you want a hug :P Enough said and on with a better life .
..

..............................ATTITUDE.....................................
I am a very easy to get along with, happy person who wants to be
there for another person .......
I WILL NEED TO MEET YOU .I am far better in person than on here....
.. Not Email ,text(yuk) or video phone .. I prefer meeting you and
or voice over anything else ...
A lot is said when the person on the other side is having to think
about an answer. If you don`t want to talk it is ok I will .. but
it is much more fun if you bring questions .....
Know that I am drawn to extra ordinary Girls .. Smart , pretty
passionate spirit, and heart , I am very attracted to a strong will
that knows what she wants and is not scared to ask or go for
it..Women who are shy (but know what they want) are my kinda
girl.(I get ya).. So don`t think for a minute that if you message
me first that you may seem DESPERATE .Friends first .... .. These
are the 20 teens ladies .. Go after what you want ......

...........................FINANCES........................................
Just like everybody else I like the extras that hard work provide..
But as of now ,with three kids "and two in collage" it is harder to
have for myself so money is kinda tight right now...... It is going
to take a year or so to get things like they were .. It is going to
take a very understanding and honest Lady around my age ,( 10 years
or so )to understand what I am talking about.I have traveled the
road less traveled ..If you know what that means give me a "HI" as
a message..

......................NOT ALWAYS ON
HERE.............................
I leave my computer on with OK cupid, most of the time even though
I may not be on here .. Please be patient as I will answer back as
soon as possible ......

............................NO
GAMES......................................
I do not chase girls,never have . But once I have found THE girl
and if (feelings ) are equitable, I will pursue her and show my
intentions... ....

.............................REALIZATION......................................
Long looks are required to get who I am .. Starring at very clear,
very deep water is the best analogy I can give .. Looks shallow at
first but If you are careful you will see a big fish swim by and
then it all comes into focus....Remember focus...... REAL... This
will take time and if you are in a hurry stop here and I hope you
find what you are looking for somewhere else ...Friends first ..
..

.............................3000........................................
Here are my answers to the questions . Just ask if you need to know
anything... Most of the questions are answered on the profile and
re answered in my profile questions of about 3000 or so . I had to
do a lot of introspecting to get them right and honest.(STILL
WORKING ON THEM). Hope you have as well...I have a very sympathetic
ear ......I am looking for far more than a pretty face and and
silhouette ...A match and some intuition is needed
............................PHOTOS..........................................
Here are my pictures .. As you can see it is full of things I have
done and a few of me ..If you want one that is new, just tell me
and I will get it for you ..

...........................WORK
HABITS...............................
I work very hard , long and odd Hours . That`s not to say I wont
take the time for you at the drop of a hat .(hard hat HA HA)
...........................WHAT I LIKE
..................................
A lady who is spicy .. My favorite spices are, TIME
(experience)Trust worthy,Down to earth (EARTHY ) , silly(in private
),Real,Caring,Strong willed but soft spoken,Easy
going,Loving,Touchy feely,(in private ) Giving,Shy, but getting
over it (means a PRIVATE PERSON)) And last but not least SMART (Big
time)........

........IF I HAVEN`T GOTTEN BACK TO YOU QUICKLY.............
. Sorry if it takes time to get around to it with my job.. Right
now it is 50 TO 73 hours .. Nothing new to me.... I build therefore
I am. But don't let that sway you .. I will change all of that for
the right person..

............................THANK YOU
.......................................
Thanks for your time.....I know how valuable it is and also how
sweet it is when lit with the flame of passion ..

.....................WIDE SPREAD EXPERIMENTS................

........."OK CUPID IS DOING EXPERIMENTS ON ALL OF THE PROFILES HERE
, FREE OR PAYING IT DOES NOT MATTER .
......................................................................................

If you don`t want that " get off of the net" .. Face book did it
and so did all of the other information grabbing sites as well
..That is why this site is free to everyone who chooses.. I no
longer pay for the service so I look at it like this .. The more
you know about me the better but You will only know me if we meet
.. I am really tired of stressing that .. I know we are both taking
chances to get to know each other but I am looking for the one to
be beside me forever..
......................................................................................
These OK Cupid people are only trying to get others together and
talking.
.................................................................................
.... I have had four 100% matches so far (anything above 98%
according to OK cupid) and they went OK but had better results from
other ratings ( These OK Cupid people are only trying to get others
together and talking)....Thanks for your time and this profile will
self destruct after reading . 10 ,9 8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,.. :P
